Pythagorean theorem
The formula you always use for PT is:

a and b are considered legs.
Legs are the two sides that make the right triangle.
c is considered the hypotenuse.
Hypotenuse is the angle across from the right angle.

Triangle Triples
A triangle triple is an easier way for getting the PT.
An easy, common triple to remember is 3,4,5.
Usually and answer will be a multiple if that.
The hypotenuse is 5 because the hypotenuse is always the biggest number and 3 and 4 are the legs because they are smaller.
